The Cotton Twill – Green and navy check

Shirt in cotton twill, white with a green and navy check

A country shirt, to wear with a brown herringbone tweed, its matching waistcoat and a green hunting tie. With its single cuffs, it also goes to the office, under a plain suit.

The pattern: Small, regular checks on a white ground, traced by alternating dark green and navy threads. From a distance, the shirt looks a discreet blue-grey; up close, the two colours can be told apart and echo the greens of the tweed.

The cloth: Two-fold cotton twill, with a fine diagonal, for a shirt you will keep for years.

The collar: Italian collar, widely spread, which sets off the face and the tie.

The cuffs: Single cuffs with two buttons.

The cut: Classic fit, neither slim nor loose, for comfort and a flattering silhouette.
